Cicero Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Gerald Tippett in NZ soap opera Shortland Street (2007-2010, 2012) - confirmed, and one of the best depictions of an asexual character on screen in my opinion. This was huge in the community at the time, and spawned a great deal of visibility work in NZ, but seems to be forgotten now. I'm always sad when lists of asexual characters are full of unconfirmed/head-canon choices and this amazing one is very often passed over! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SpadeHood Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) Not sure if this is worth a mention, but... a lot of people get A-Sexual vibes from Miguel (Road to El Darado Animation). It's not confirmed (because you know, It's a film for kids), but people think he would count as A-Sexual. Edited February 21, 2021 by SpadeHood 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnnaPanni Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I'm not sure if this could be counted as one, but Senku Ishigami is reall leaning toward being aro-ace in the trending anime series Doctor Stone. Nothing is comfirmed about this though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Busy bumblebee Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Run On (series) - Park May (C) May is a confirmed asexual character and it is mentioned twice. As the best friend of one of the main characters, she is a side character but still gets a fair amount of screen time. The series as a whole is focused around romance, but spends a lot of time on friendships as well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SleuthArt Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Hi, have you added Drea from "Everything's Gonna Be Okay" by Josh Thomas. She identifies as homo-romantic in the show, and has an ace partnership with Matilda, a lead character. This is canon in season 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MLR Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Has anyone seen BoJack Horseman? I remember hearing one of the characters is asexual and that they actually openly discuss it and have a coming out scene. Is it a sitcom? I'm usually a sci-fi/fantasy/crime drama person. I couldn't even sit through the Office; but I'm considering trying it. Is the representation worth sitting through a genre I don't usually like? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The French Unicorn Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Bojack Horseman is a very good show. It is considered dark comedy because even if it is funny, it has heavy topics (it is known to be one of the best representation of depression in a tv show). Todd is a main character in all seasons. However, his asexual arc only begins in season 3 and then develops in season 3, 4 and 5 (it is talked a bit in season 6, the last season, but not that much). I know some people don't like the first season (the show get better as the seasons go). So if you don't like comedy, maybe start at season 3. I liked the representation : they knew what they're talking about. We see Spoiler how Todd avoids sex, how he accepts and learns about his identity, and the difficulty to find a romantic partner while being ace. I remember two coming out scenes, maybe three (I don't remember if we see him coming out to Bojack or not). The first coming out is more serious, the second is more "sitcom" though it get it right about the fear of how people can react and the expectation to have sex in the society. I'll always recommend that show, however it is not for everyone. So if you don't like sitcom, I should say that Todd is (unfortunately) the character is probably the most "comic relief" character in the show. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
